Highland Van & Storage Ltd
Trusted Vancouver Moving Company since 1969
We have been treating customers like family for over 50 years.
History
Harry Wiancko founded The Highland Worldwide Group of Companies in 1969 with two trucks and a 1,500 sq. ft. warehouse in North Vancouver, B.C. Operating as Highland Van & Storage Ltd, he expanded in the 1970s, going beyond local moving and storage in the Greater Vancouver area to offer provincial and inter-provincial moving services through affiliations with van lines such as Atlas, our current van line affiliate.
Noticing the increasing number of families moving overseas, Harry founded Worldwide Overseas Moving Service Inc. in 1977, providing full destination and origin services for families moving to and from Canada.
The business continued to grow in the 1980s with the help of his sons Alan and Robert. In 1995, they expanded to Vancouver Island with the acquisition of Dowell’s Moving & Storage Ltd. and in 2003 acquired Summit Moving & Storage Ltd. to expand into the Fraser Valley.
The year 2003 was a breakthrough for Highland as we purchased our own facility, located right by Highway 91 in Delta and provided easy access to the entire Lower Mainland as well as the container terminals of Port Vancouver.

Is it a good idea to get an estimate over the phone or via the Internet?
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
Will my estimate be based on the weight of my shipment?
If you are receiving a non-binding estimate, the charges that your mover assesses on your
shipment must be based on the actual weight of the shipment. Your mover may not lawfully
assess transportation charges on shipments with non-binding estimates on cubic feet, volume,
time (hourly) or on any basis other than weight. Also, the federal regulations require that
shipment weights must be determined on a state certified scale with a copy of the weigh
master’s tickets provided to you in support of the final invoice.
